MasukOne lie got her the job. One secret could get her killed. Fresh out of prison, and one misstep away from being dragged back behind bars, Mercedes Connor is desperate. No one wants to hire an ex-con, no matter how qualified she is. But her best friend has a dangerous idea: ditch the Connor name, go by her mother's; Mercedes Alexander, and cheat the system just enough to survive. Re-inventing herself, she was able to get a job as the live-in nanny at the prestigious Ford Estate. But the Ford's are not just your regular wealthy family. They're powerful. And they're hiding something. ***************** Bradley Ford is cold, commanding, and dangerously irresistible. The world sees him as a tech billionaire, but behind closed doors, he's something else entirely: An Alpha werewolf, with a pack in chaos, and enemies everywhere. With threats closing in, the last thing he needs is a human nanny living under his roof. But his children chose her–and they never warm up to strangers. And for reasons he can't explain, so does his wolf. Two lives. One house full of secrets. And a forbidden attraction that could unravel both of their worlds.

You are my pack but ultimately, you all are family and I think it’s safe to say Mercedes and I wouldn't be together here without any of you…even if you all were against us at first.” Bradley began and the whole crowd laughed. The rest of Bradley's words were blurred as I scanned all the faces in the crowd and I still couldn't believe how far Bradley and I had come. I couldn&rsquo
Mercedes’ povI groaned as heat crawled up my neck and I clawed at my clothes. Why was it so hot?My lips were cracked dry and my throat was unbearably parched.I groaned again as I tried to peel my eyes open but I was too weak.“Hey, it’s all right.” a voice whispered to me just as a cool cloth was placed gently on my skin. The sweat was wiped off me with the cloth until I felt considerably calmer and I was finally able to pull open my eyes.“Water?” the person asked before a glass appeared in front of my lips and I slowly emptied its contents.“I must still be asleep.” I muttered as I stared at Bradley’s mother. What other way could I possibly explain why she was the one in my room other than because it was a dream?She smiled ruefully as she brushed away a stray strand of hair out of my face.“It’s not a dream Mercedes, it’s really me. Although I can see
Bradley’s povEverything from there on out was a blur as I transformed mid air and crashed into Steve. He changed as well and we fought viciously against each other, no one ready to surrender to the other. We bit and nipped and clawed against each other and there was only one thing drilled into Dax’s head; kill Steve.I groaned as Steve's claws scratched the left side of my face and my eye and blood blurred my vision but I kept going.We tumbled against the floor and I sank my claws into his side before I retracted them and without giving him time to recover I pinned him against the floor.I stared into Steve’s eyes before I lowered my head and sank my canines into his neck and he thrashed underneath me but I didn't let up.Suddenly another wolf slammed into me and I stumbled away from Steve. I instantly rose and I stilled when I saw it was Ethan who was standing over Steve’s whimpering wolf. He was on Steve’s side now
Bradley’s pov“Bradley!” I heard someone call out to me in the distance but I didn't care as the feel of Chris’ warm blood on my body drove me to keep going.I was abruptly pulled away from him and his body dropped to the floor.“Forget about him, you need to get Mercedes.” Ethan reminded me just as I heard a familiar high pitched scream.My neck snapped towards the door of the pack house and I immediately stilled. Mercedes struggled against her captor but that wasn’t what caught my attention.How? How was it possible?“Hello brothers, isn’t this the most unconventional family reunion?” Steve asked and Ethan stilled beside me as well as though he was just realizing who he was. Steve had changed a little, his features, his physique…there was just something rugged about him now.“Steve?” Ethan called out hesitantly. I could understand how he felt. I felt as t

Bradley’s povNo, it wasn't possible. I refused to believe it was…there had never been anything between Mercedes or Chris to hint they wanted to be together.Besides, I knew Mercedes loved me and nothing would change that.“You have no idea what you are tal
Bradley’s pov“They killed two wolves,” one of the border officers informed me and I gritted my teeth.“Have the captives been taken to the dungeon?” I questioned as I stared at the lifeless bodies in front of me.“They are being questioned
Mercedes’ povI tapped my foot rapidly against the floor as I waited for Bradley. What was taking him so long? It had already been twenty minutes since I had left him in the dining room but he still hadn’t come up.What if Chris had gotten to him first and was telling hi
